| I just got back from a trip in my 1991 Olds Custom Cruiser. Went to Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The car performed flawlessly, but I did lose a piece of my trim. Anyone got any ideas? Bondo and paint? Try to find a replacement panel? Not many junkyards around here. Anyone got one to sell? Photo of affected right rear passenger door here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43042659/photo.JPGBy the way, I noticed how much my baby loves high speed. I got better gas mileage doing 75-80 mph that doing 60-70. I averaged around 24-25 mpg, and peaked at 25.5 mpg. This surprised some of my family and friends who assumed an old station wagon with a V8 would do much worse. | |

| That's commonly called the flyaway because...you know why. Someone here should have one for you. Jeff | |

| When you finally find one, glue it back on with windshield urethane glue. Then it will not fly away any more. | |

They are few and far between, and fly off the shelf as fast as I get them. | |
